Abstract: The plane-strain tension test is analyzed numerically for a material with strain and strain-rate hardening characteristics. The effect of the prescribed rate of straining is investigated for an ...

Abstract: The effects of material strain-rate dependence on necking and neck propagation in polymeric fibres are analyzed. Using a finite element scheme together with an elastic-viscoplastic constitutive ...

Abstract: The destabilizing effect of deformation-induced heating on the cold drawing of polymeric films is investigated under adiabatic and plane-strain loading conditions. An approximate method, previously ...
